From the manufacturer
At your command
Jack, the fully programmable robot mouse, is ready to help teach hands-on coding concepts! It’s a great tool for learning about logic, sequencing, and problem solving— the very basics of computer coding and programming.
As kids have fun playing, they’ll learn essential skills that can help them succeed in school, and in life. They’ll get an early start on crucial STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) concepts, like critical thinking, problem solving, and familiarity with simple technology. The Programmable Robot Mouse is specially designed to help prepare kids for brighter futures.
Endless creative possibilities
It’s easy to get started learning to code your mouse. Simply create a step-by-step path for Jack using the 30 double-sided coding cards to provide the perfect introduction to coding concepts. Each card features a direction or step (such as forward or reverse) to program into Jack.
The possibilities are endless since Jack can be programmed up to 40 steps. He features 2 speeds — perfect for the tabletop or floor. Try setting up a maze with blocks or other toys and program Jack to make it to the end. Also, try creating tunnels or other obstacles for Jack to navigate through or around using nearby items, such as pillows or books. Keep building, estimating, measuring, and learning!
Keep the fun going
Jack can also be used with the STEM Robot Mouse Coding Activity Set (LER 2831) for more play options, learning opportunities, and fun. This deluxe set includes another programmable robot mouse (Colby), a fully customisable maze board with walls and tunnels, Activity Cards with 20 preset mazes, and a wedge of cheese for the mouse to find! Jack is the perfect complement to this comprehensive set: pit Jack against Colby in a race to the cheese, or work together with a friend to navigate the challenging mazes. It’s everything you need for a crash course in coding!
